If you are living in the dating world you’re so lucky. You can join an free online dating site and chances are good these days you’ll find one of the most happy and compatible partner relationships. Then you meet him/her, go out to eat dinner and to the movies. Okay, that went fine but it could be better. How many times have you eat at that same restaurant? You may have had a couple of dates this month and chances are you’ve seen the same movie already with one of them. Not really a lot of fun, huh?
Dinner and a movie are fine sometimes but why not make your date a learning experience. That’s right. These days we’ve all learned multi-tasking by either having a lunch/meeting or checking our emails while riding our exercise bike. People these days have such busy lives they are never doing one thing at a time.
Bring some excitement, creativity and learning into your next date. You may have noticed amongst the free online dating sites that several of the profiles contain the person’s wish or want list. They always wanted to learn pottery making, painting or photography. That could have caught your eye because you wanted to learn those things too or maybe you already know how to do one of them.
Maybe you both want to learn pottery or painting. Great! Find a place that gives classes and sign you and your date up. Making a one or two hour class part of the dating fun adds to the charm and they will never forget that you did this thoughtful thing.
There are a lot of things that people don’t know how to do and would enjoy. Classes are given on every subject under the sun. Learning something helps you grow as a person and you’ll get to know more about your date. A class will alleviate any dating discomfort most people feel on their first date because the focus will be on both of you learning something you didn’t know.
It will give you both something to share and have common ground on. You may even get a second date from it.
If you happen to know how to do something your date wants to learn then you could make part of your date about teaching them. Teaching someone something you know about brings a new perspective to it and sometimes makes it seem new to you again.
If you are teaching your date something keep it light and fun. Everyone wants to learn new and interesting things and there is plenty a lot of us don’t know anything about.
Why not share the first time you learn something new with your next date? It could turn out to be a learning experience and much more fun than dinner and a movie.
